What do Vivaldi and Piazzolla have in common? How do the “Four Seasons” react when combined with tangos, equally interspersed? The Twiolins – unstoppable by any genre border – have taken up these questions and – with a wink to Gidon Kremer – created their own new “Eight Seasons”:
Spring is all about angels, they die and rise, summer experiences melancholy and mysticism, in autumn the hunting horns are stopped by a Hora Zero and in winter you want to dance the tango, back to the south…

It was an adventure that the Twiolins set out on with the arrangement of the Four Seasons and the tangos of Piazzolla, but days and nights above the score unleashed unknown creativity. Both Vivaldi and Piazolla have undergone a transformation, revealing new aspects in this chamber music version that these great works of world literature have never shown before. This project takes the listener on a musical journey through two centuries and hemispheres, eliminating the borders between continents, musical boundaries and traditions without compromising their essence.

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons contrasted with eleven contrasting tango by Astor Piazzolla – With the Twiolins’ “Eight Seasons” you are invited to enjoy Vivaldi’s virtuoso piece and let yourself be captured by Argentinean longing and passion.
